When we first meet Auren in book one, she’s a tough character to like because she’s so in denial. Let me tell you just 4 reasons why this series deserves all the love: Character development of healing and growth I don’t understand why I haven’t seen this around the blogosphere more. Though the story is a bit slow at first (the first half of book one is mostly setting up the story and it only really gets going in the second half), once it gets going, IT IS SUCH A SOLIDLY AMAZING READ. Until Midas turns her into a prize to be won, a pet he can gift to greedy kings in exchange for his own agenda, and she starts to lose trust in her King. But Auren looks on the bright side: Midas rescued her all those years ago, is keeping her safe, and she loves him.

She is there as his pet, there to be admired from afar, to play music for visitors and let herself be gawked at. So much so that he turned her skin golden and is keeping her in a golden cage. Though it’s actually more the story of Auren, who is King Midas’s favorite. The Plated Prisoner series is an adult fantasy romance and a super dark and twisted retelling of the myth of King Midas ( yes, the one that turned stuff into gold). Get ready for me to talk about nothing else but this series for the next few weeks and months, because BOY AM I OBSESSED! “A cage is a cage, no matter how gilded.” It is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. Please Note: This book contains explicit content and darker elements, including mature language, violence, and non-consensual sex. With romance, intrigue, and danger, the gilded world of Orea will grip you from the very first page. This compelling adult fantasy series is as addictive as it is unexpected. But the monsters on the other side might make me wish I’d never left. And I realize that everything I thought I knew about Midas might be wrong.īecause these bars I’m kept in, no matter how gilded, are still just a cage. Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck. And even though I don’t leave the confines of the palace, I’m safe. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. I’m the woman he Gold-Touched to show everyone that I belong to him. Dug me out of the slums and placed me on a pedestal. In Highbell, in the castle built into the frozen mountains, everything is made of gold. Gold floors, gold walls, gold furniture, gold clothes.
